How To Transpose Songs To Different Keys

Imagine that you are the main pianist for your church. One day an evangelist comes to your church and you have to play "Amazing Grace" for his wife, who is going to sing a solo that night. Unfortunately, she wants you to play it in the key of Ab and your church always sings it in F. You have thirty minutes before church starts! What do you do?

Ok, true, you could cheat and use the modulation function on your keyboard, but let's imagine that you keyboard doesn't have one of those. What now?

Let me just tell you, the time will come when you will need to know how to transpose a song into a different key. Here is how you do it. Let's take "Amazing Grace" as an example. Here it is.

F

Amazing Grace

F// F//

Bb / / F / /

Dm / / G / / C / / C / /

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me,

F// F//

Bb / / F / /

Dm / / G / C F / / Bb/C / /

I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind, but now I see.

The first thing we want to do is rewrite the song using Roman Numerals. For example, "F" is the I chord. So in place of "F" we write I. "D" is the VI chord, so in place of Dm, we write vi. (Remember, lower case Roman numerals signify minor chords.) Now, we can transpose the song into any key we want. Here is the key of F: F G A Bb C D E F

I II III IV V vi vii I

Amazing Grace

I// I/

/

IV / / I / /

vi / / II / / V / / V / /

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me,

I / / I / / IV / /

I / /

vi / / II / V I / / IV/V / /

I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind, but now I see.

Now let's transpose it to Ab doing the same thing. In place of I, we write Ab, and in place of vi, we write Fm. Here is the key of Ab: Ab Bb C Db Eb F G Ab

I II III IV V vi vii I

Ab

Amazing Grace

Ab / / Ab / /

Db / / Ab / /

Fm / / Bb / / Eb / / Eb / /

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me,

Ab / / Ab / /

Db / / Ab / / Fm / / Bb / Eb Ab / / Db/Eb / /

I once was lost, but now I'm found, was blind, but now I see.

How To Read The Apostolic Praise Ultimate All-In-One Chorusbook

This book was written primarily for those who have completed the Apostolic Praise? series, but it can also be used by those who have not. This page is written for those who

have not completed the series. Unique Apostolic Praise? symbols

(v) = This stands for "vamp." It means you are playing passing chords on that chord for 2 measures. The basic passing chord is always the IV chord, so your passing chord on a C chord would be an F chord. C (v) = C-F-C-F-C-C-F-C-F C7 (v) = C-F-C7-F-C-C-F-C7-F Cm7 (v) = Cm-F-C7-F-Cm-Cm-F-C7-F This is explained more in-depth in Apostolic Praise 101: A Crash Course in Piano. So if you are unsure how to do this, you need to purchase Apostolic Praise 101.

(m-v) = This stands for "minor vamp." This is when you play passing chords on a minor chord for at 2 measures. For example, the passing chord for Cm would be Bb. (Cm-Bb-Cm-Bb-Cm-Cm-Bb-Cm-Bb)

* = This means that you only play the vamp for 1 measure, half of the normal time. C (v)* = C-F-C-F C7 (v)* = C-F-C7-F Cm7 (v)* = Cm-F-C7-F Cm (m-v)* = Cm-Bb-Cm-Bb

C / / / = together-right-right-right. This means play on C for 1 measure of four beats. This is kind of self-explanatory. It is explained in AP I. [ ] = The chords inside only receive half a beat. Count: 1 2 3 + 4 + 1 2 3 4 1

C / [Dm-C/E-Dm/F-C/G] C/G / F/G / C
